Ex Stud,I think thats a stretch but you got the right answer. I was circular thinking and came up with a dual meaning for circles:1-the carousel(or the conservatory) 2-the name-c O m O.

SCRIBE:You sound like you might seek tonight.I hope you're not the lady I read about a couple of years ago who was poking around at Indian Mounds Park about 3 AM with a lantern."I'll find it if it's the last thing I do"(paraphrase)she said.

This is when it ceases to be fun.

Ex I got a real good idea there too. Maybe we could meet somewhere and discuss. There is a special meaning to one of the clues that points it out, but only if you keep it simple.

Hubby and me have decided to wait until tomorrow (or maybe late tonight if we are excited). We want to see tonight's clue. Can't decide between Como and Phalen.

Clues seem to fit at Como, but it was just there a few years ago.

David,

Scribe won't be out there alone.

Too many posts since I last logged in. You people are maniacal!

Leelabell, be bold and go back even though there is too much crap going on. For the past 3 years everytime como has been mentioned, someone shoots it down because of activities. That would be a perfect reason for the cluewriter to put it there, no one would believe it is there again, or with the activities. Don't follow the herd, be bold, be victorious!

larry ho field? west picnic area? I dunno.

The consensus now seems to be Como and Phalen.The one most frequent place for hiding I think is Harriet Island.

I still think AA Park is it.At least until the next clues.

Leelabell, if you and the hubby get to excited you won't make it to ANY park, lol.

Good night all - my little medallion hunter just woke up from his nap. Now we are off to dinner and then a few drive bys. Will check in with the cooler later in the evening. Good luck hunting tonight. Stay warm and "sane" if you are out.

Frog pond? Don't the clues tell us to stay away from statues?

Fri, 01/26/2001 - 5:58 PM Permalink
Regalman

if your talking not thinking cuz of frog pond, we are prob thinking the same, cuz it's no where near the frog, just open place to meet, and not putting area in here.

It's a good place to meet in como for being so open, I didn't say it's at the frog pond, I said meet there, step.

REGALMAN:I was there yesterday,but very solitary.There were even words carved in the snow,and I thought maybe somehow this bird of peace(dove)was hidden in the words.

But there's no way you can search those words in the snow without distort the words,and making a mess.I decided that wasn't the right word clue.

But Clark St. leads to it,and there's plenty of space.

Does victorius tell us anything? Victoria runs so near Palace and Linwood? They're both not so big, but I think space is a word to reconsider.

In about 1/2 hour or so

I was a solitary digger and looker in the area i was in, and to keep em simple, it fits a lot better than the scrutinyt of every word ideas

I'm not sure space means big area.....I don't know whether to take clues simple or read into them. I just think if it was a big park we would have known that before the 6th clue even though they said it would be tougher

Why is everybody so turned off with HF's? Every clue fits in some way, shape or form.

wolf, hidden with 10,000 people, can become very dangerous.

You can play horseshoes, the good luck clue, plus there is over 6 miles of bike paths.
